Short Version:

The National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum (NAPAWF) is the only national, mutli-issue organization building a movement for human rights and social justice for AAPI women and girls. 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of NAPAWF. Watch this video to learn more about NAPAWF and our mission.

For 2016 Asian American and Pacific Islander Women’s Equal Pay Day, we have data that shows on average Asian American women are paid 86 cents for every dollar paid to their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts. However, since AAPI represent over 50 ethnicities, you can’t get the whole picture without disaggregated data. Well here is some.

In September 2006, NAPAWF celebrated its 10-year anniversary in Los Angeles, where it was founded by over 150 API female activists. Fierce Sisters tells a moving story of the women and the movement, celebrates their vision and work, and emphasizes the importance of elevating the unique issues and concerns of API women and girls in the broader women’s and social justice movements. A 35-minute documentary by Nat Soti. To purchase the full documentary, visit our Shop for Change online store.
